Default Re: newbie question to blasting

I built a blasting cabinet ten years ago, before the sudden appearance of the cheap Chinese imports. It cost me almost as much for parts than these new ones cost whole. But it works well. I use one of those cheap ($17 dollar) Jet blasting guns in it. I began with an old one horse compressor. It was like using one of those cheap arc welders where you have to weld for a few minutes and then let it cool down for a while. Then I bought a five horse Campbell Hausfeld at Harbor Freight and I can blast non stop for hours. I love the compressor.
